In depth

Verdict

Tempelstern, Samurai Way and Crystal Prince are the ones for the shoprtlist, with Tempelstern taken to continue Henry Cecil's good run. After some promising efforts last season, Luca Cumani's Samurai Way ran well at Newbury on his seasonal debut, finishing a staying on second. He will appreciate this extra quarter mile and is well regarded. Crystal Prince ran well to be second at Nottingham on his most recent start, and with the third winning since the form looks solid. Placed twice as a juvenile, Tempelstern made a very promising seasonal re-appearance when finishing a staying on second at Newbury, in what looked a decent affair. He looks a real staying type, and although this is a sharp track, he looks to have a touch of class and Tempelstern can take this en route to better things.
